Almost 500,000 illegals have gotten driver's licenses in California...

A surge of undocumented immigrants seeking driver’s
licenses has surprised the California Department of Motor Vehicles,
pouring in at twice the rate officials expected and underscoring massive
interest in the new program.
Just three months after driver’s licenses became available to
immigrants living in California illegally, the product of legislation
advocates had pursued fruitlessly for years before prevailing and
passing Assembly Bill 60 in 2013, 493,998 have sought licenses. The
number has surprised officials who spent months bracing for an influx of
new customers by hiring staff, opening new DMV offices and extending
hours.
“The interest in this program is far greater than anyone anticipated,” DMV Director Jean Shiomoto said in a statement.
